Title: Pathfinder RPG: For the first time in a while...
Post by: Nightfall on July 25, 2012, 10:04:37 PM
I'm not that terribly excited by 2013 in Paizo's future. Sure there's some stuff out there that LOOKS good. But most of that will probably be released before the end of 2012.

AP wise: Shattered Star holds a great deal of interest for me, but honestly I'm feeling the whole "Go to Irrisen via Taldor and then outer space!" that the next one is supposed to cover.

(To be fair though, more info on Baba Yaga in Pathfinder RPG is welcome.)

I don't know much about Companion Line or the Campaign Line in 2013. I am hopeful but not holding out stuff. What bothers me about the Companion line is the fact they've done little to improve the standings of the races like they did with Orcs, gnomes and halflings. (But I guess that's why they did Advanced Race Guide instead.)

Anyways, I thought I'd post this here. See if we get some feedback.

Hmm, I have only heard of the ARG, what's this companion line?

I have some of the Companions, and they are really hit or miss unfortunately.  You have the common Pathfinder problem of reproduced content.  

My favorite one is probably Andoran, Spirit of Liberty.  I've included countries or areas with a 'revolutionary' spirit and enlightenment ideals several of my homebrew settings and I think Andoran was done particularly well.  YMMV due to tastes of course.  I think the region gives players that like the 'crusader' archetype a chance to do it from a different angle than the standard fantasy religious zealot.

The Steel Falcon PrC is decent as well.

I'm okay with some of the Player Companions.

I just was hoping for more when Blood of Fiends and Blood of Angels was announced/released.

I'm also not sure how I feel about a book on animal companions. Varisia, Irrissen, Knights, are all fine and good. I just don't see them as interesting enough to warrant paying for them just yet.

Conversely, I WILL pay more for something like Inner Sea Bestiary, Lost Kingdoms, Paths of Prestige, Magnimar, City of Monuments, just to name some I've seen from the Campaign Setting line.

Though I'm not sure if 2013 will have anything I want/need if Bestiary 4 gets released in 2013.

The thing I most want from Paizo (apart from their cool prepaint plastic minis) is more of their Adventure Paths republished as £38 hardbacks, the way they are doing with Rise of the Runelords. I bought a couple AP first instalments at £15 each, they are nice but hugely padded and there is no way I can justify the £90 it would cost to buy 1-6 from my FLGS.

Now that is something that would interest me. If they would just repacked anything like the companions or paths into some kind of annual hardback form. I like it when you can considate a game into as few books possible.
